Walt first came to Marceline by train when he was five years old. The Santa Fe train arrived at the depot that preceded the present-day one, which was rebuilt in 1913. When Walt returned to Marceline for the first time in 1946, the depot evoked his first memories of pulling into Marceline. So it is fitting that the museum dedicated to one of the most influential persons of the last century is housed in this restored Santa Fe Depot.

Fabulous little museum. Wonderful tribute to Walt Disney. Great insight into the making of the man and the parks. A must for any Disney lover. A little magical place in Missouri that allowed Walt Disney to bring his "hometown " to the world.

We loved the Walt Disney Hometown Museum!! This is such an awesome place and an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon!! There is a lot of memorabilia displayed here! The docents are AMAZING and make this museum come alive with their stories of Walt Disney!...More

This is so worth it. You can just feel the magic looking at all the history of Walt and his family. We loved our guide Inez and my 6 year old loved the scavenger hunt she got to do throughout the museum.

This is worth the drive (we drove about 3 hours) to see the quaint and charming town Disney spent his short lived childhood in. All of the folks who work here are very nice and their stories are great too! Definitely take the tour with...More

Well off the beaten track, but not hard to find and a fairly easy trip from the highway. Small building, however, lots of displays inside. If you are a Disney fan, you came to the right place. If not, keep driving! I thought the $10...More

There's no admission to see the barn or Dreaming Tree, and no specified hours that we saw. The family that owns the farm welcomes visitors and is happy to have you--just keep in mind that they live in the Disney house on the property when choosing your hours to come. :) (The house is private and not open to visitors. They do welcome you to take pictures from the street though).
